I'm inclined to agree with you at a first glance on being happy about the small things in life but something is wrong here. When you're young, that N64 game is probably one of the most important items on the list. To us, as adults, we're thinking that this kid is delighted with the small things. Sure, they are small, relative to the items we desire. In other words, the kid is only enjoying the small things in life essentially because he is small. For me to start caring about the 'little things' would just revert me to the emotional equivalent of a child. So no, I'd say refuse lowering your standards to care about the small things because it can only make you small. Go big on things and set huge goals for yourself. never be content, or you'll never grow.

I still get excited for cartoons.

I'm BIG on loving and appreciating the small things - they are what get me through the day, :-) Great post!

McFry, where are you?

wow I really know what your going through, The more I read the more we connected. I've been out of school for 6 years now never got my diploma nore went to collage. My 1st assistant mangers job was like the 3rd year of me being out of school. I took the job for the same reasons as you and in the end was laid off left looking for another job... Got another job was there for awhile got sucked into Assitant Manager yet again been one for like 3 years now.

So true. I actually believe our parents and/or our teachers, teach us to stuff feeling. They teach us to stick to the rules, to talk when you should, to think to everyone else, to want what everyone else wants.

I think when we are young we haven't learn that lesson so we are so free and we don't even know it. As jha said, lets hope we never grow up.

Hey...hmmm thats all..lol :P
